Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has said the government’s development agenda has now reached every corner of the country, with projects currently underway in all 47 counties.
Speaking during a church service in Elgeyo Marakwet County, Omollo said the administration of William Ruto is focused on ensuring equitable distribution of resources and opportunities, regardless of region.
“It is clear that development projects are ongoing across all counties. This reflects our deliberate effort to ensure no part of the country is left behind,” he said.
Focus on transforming livelihoods
Omollo explained that the government’s investments are centered on key sectors such as infrastructure, housing and healthcare, which he said are critical to improving the quality of life for Kenyans.
He noted that these projects are not only addressing current needs but are also designed to create long-term impact.
“These are transformative projects meant to uplift livelihoods today while securing a better future for generations to come,” he said.
The PS added that visible progress across counties should inspire public confidence in the government’s development agenda.
Call for unity amid political tensions
At the same time, Omollo cautioned against divisive politics, warning that ethnic divisions and political hostility could undermine national progress.
“We must resist attempts to divide us along tribal or political lines. Development can only be achieved when we remain united as a people,” he said.
He urged leaders and citizens alike to prioritise national interests over political competition, especially as the country gradually shifts focus toward the 2027 elections.
Push for voter registration
Omollo also called on eligible Kenyans to register as voters in the upcoming exercise by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
He emphasized the importance of national identification documents, noting that they are essential not only for voting but also for accessing government services.
“It is through registration that citizens gain the power to participate in shaping the country’s leadership and future,” he said.
The PS encouraged young people and first-time voters to turn out in large numbers, describing the process as a key pillar of democracy.
Improved security in Rift Valley
During the visit, Omollo, who was accompanied by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, also highlighted improvements in security, particularly in the Kerio Valley.
He said ongoing operations to combat banditry and livestock theft are beginning to yield results, with increased stability reported in the region.
“Our security interventions are bearing fruit. We are seeing progress, and we remain committed to restoring lasting peace in affected areas,” he said.
The government has in recent months intensified security operations as part of broader efforts to stabilise the region and support economic activity.
Sustaining momentum
Omollo reiterated that the government will continue to expand development initiatives while strengthening security and governance systems across the country.
He called on Kenyans to support the ongoing programmes, noting that sustained collaboration between the government and citizens is essential for long-term success.
“We are on the right path, and with continued support from Kenyans, we will achieve inclusive growth and national transformation,” he said.
